[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Validation patter -> Invalid State

Hey, I have a question about annotation @Pattern and seam validation of the annotated field. I have this annotation | @NotNull | @Pattern(regex="[a-zA-Z]?[a-zA-Z0-9]+", | message="Username must start with a letter, and only contain letters or numbers") | public String getFirstName() { | return firstName; | } | When I call this from view form I will get: /*message*/ Exception was thrown:validation failed for: edu.baylor.icpc.model.businessobjects.PersonInfo and log: | 01:19:02,534 ERROR [ExceptionHandler] Exception[Ljava.lang.StackTraceElement;@875e63 | 01:19:02,534 ERROR [ExceptionHandler] Exception | org.hibernate.validator.InvalidStateException: validation failed for: edu.xx.xx.model.businessobjects.PersonInfo | at org.hibernate.validator.event.ValidateEventListener.validate(ValidateEventListener.java:143) | at org.hibernate.validator.event.ValidateEventListener.onPreUpdate(ValidateEventListener.java:172) | at org.hibernate.action.EntityUpdateAction.preUpdate(EntityUpdateAction.java:217) | at org.hibernate.action.EntityUpdateAction.execute(EntityUpdateAction.java:65) | | ... | | org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:583) | at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:446) | at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) | 01:19:02,537 WARN [ReadWriteCache] An item was expired by the cache while it was locked (increase your cache timeout): edu.xx.xx.model.businessobjects.PersonInfo#2 | | Next valid attempt also fail: /*message*/ Exception was thrown:null Transaction failed | [AbstractFlushingEventListener] Could not synchronize database state with session | org.hibernate.StaleObjectStateException: Row was updated or deleted by another transaction (or unsaved-value mapping was incorrect): [edu.xx.xx.model.businessobjects.PersonInfo#2] | ... | Caused by: org.hibernate.StaleObjectStateException: Row was updated or deleted by another transaction (or unsaved-value mapping was incorrect): [edu.baylor.icpc.model.businessobjects.PersonInfo#2] | | I guess that here I am supposed to call entityManager.merge() to get valid object state? But what about @Pattern validation. Is that expected behavior? (When I use entityHome from seam-gened application it fails too) Thanks Tomas View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4128049#...
